Cops: Possibility of Pamela Ling escaping to overseas part of missing persons probe, MACC already obtained travel ban
KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 — The police's detailed investigation on the month-long disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh includes probing the possibility that she had absconded abroad, Putrajaya police said today.
Putrajaya district police chief ACP Aidi Sham Mohamed said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has barred Ling's movement, following a query from the media on whether they are investigating the possibility that she had escaped abroad using forged documents.
'Pamela's movements to abroad had been blocked by the MACC when they were carrying out investigations on Pamela,' Aidi Sham told reporters in a brief statement.
He was responding to a question on whether police were on alert at the borders or entry and exit points of Malaysia for any attempts by suspects or Ling to get her out of the country.
Previously, Ling's family's lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said the MACC had obtained a travel ban on Ling since at least October 2024.
As of now, Aidi Sham said the police have recorded the statements from 27 witnesses.
